I locked myself in the high-ceiled classrooms and spent hours trying to figure out the shades of green in trees, and how words might fill my life blanks. Writing was all I had. Poetry got me out of bed at dawn and cured my pain. Then graduation came. After learning that to be a proper housewife was all the future I would hold, I boarded the city bus to the next state and announced I wanted to go to college. With no money but excellent academic performance and student editor experience, I got admitted. I published my first piece in the student literary magazine. I wrote and kept writing till I landed a job and got married. My poems got published often, and won small but significant awards until I discovered I couldn’t do two things at once and do both well. I would either write full time and starve or work full time and invest in family. With much regret, I resigned (辞职) as a small-press poetry editor, left my works on the shelves and only wrote occasionally in spare notebooks. I started every new year in expectation of a comeback because poems were in my blood. My retiring years found me resolved to regain the only thing I had always wanted to do: writing poems. I dug out the notebooks, edited and re-edited. Dusty drafts changed with time into poems. It dawned on me that I never stopped writing poems, I was a poet and life itself was poetry. So why do I write poems? Because I have to. It’s the first light of my day, my lifeline, and I won’t let it go. 24．How did the author view writing at the beginning? A．It earned her a great reputation. B．It helped her through painful time. C．It promoted her language learning. D．It guided her to defeat nervousness. 25．What made the author quit her editor job? A．The poor publication market. B．The disapproval of her family. C．The expectation to increase income. D．The imbalance between work and life. 26．What has the author learned from poetry? A．Poetry mirrors life. B．Time heals all wounds. C．Fortune prefers the creative. D．Polishing makes a good poem. 27．Which of the following might be the best title of the text? A．Growing Love: Stimulating Life Choice, B．Lifelong Dawn: My Poetry Writing Journey C．Reaching Dreams: From Housewife to Poet D．Dramatic Change: Writing in Retiring Years C They say procrastination（拖延症） is the thief of time — actually deadlines are. New research has found that if you want someone to help you out with something, it is best not to set a deadline at all. But if you do set a deadline, make it short. Professor Stephen Knowles tested the effect of deadline length on task completion for their research. Participants were invited to complete an online survey concerning a charity donation. They were given either one week, one month, or no deadline to respond. Professor Knowles says although the topic of the survey is about charity, the results are true of any situation where someone asks another person for help. The study found responses to the survey were lowest for the one-month deadline and highest when no deadline was specified. No deadline and the one- week deadline led to many early responses, while a long deadline appeared to give people permission to procrastinate, and then forget. Professor Knowles wasn’t surprised to find that specifying(指定) a shorter deadline increased the chances of receiving a response compared to a longer deadline. However, he did find it interesting that they received the most responses when no deadline was specified. “We interpret this as evidence that specifying a longer deadline, as opposed to a short deadline or no deadline at all, removes the urgency to act,” he says. “People therefore put off undertaking the task, and since they are inattentive or forget, postponing it results in lower response rates.” He says of the research that it is possible that not specifying a deadline might still have led participants to assume that there is an unspoken deadline. Professor Knowles hopes his research can help reduce the amount of procrastinating people do. “Many people procrastinate. They have the best intentions of helping someone out, but just do not get around to doing it. ” 28．Why did Professor Knowles do the research? A．To study the role a deadline plays in procrastination. B．To find out whether people are interested in charity. C．To attract public attention to the effects of procrastination. D．To test the effect of procrastination on task completion. 29．What most likely leads to procrastination? A．No deadlines. B．Short deadlines. C．Specific deadlines. D．Long deadlines. 30．What’s the attitude of Professor Knowles to the findings of the study? A．Interested. B．Conservative. C．Confused. D．Unsurprised. 31．Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined word “inattentive”？ A．careless B．unimportant C．lazy D．difficult D What Elon Musk has built on the remote mudflats (泥滩)at the southern tip of Texas is astonishing: huge metal structures, fuel storage tanks? and a silver rocket-all fronted by neon letters that spell out “Starbase”. But can SpaceX coexist with the original feathered inhabitants on the lower Gulf coast? Environmentalists from Brownsville to Washington, D．C． are protesting his ambitious vision to build, test and launch next-generation rockets in this fragile ecosystem. “It’s 24/7. The lights are really bright out here at night. I wouldn’t want to be nesting near any of this if I were a bird, “says Stephanie Bilodeau, a conservation bird biologist with a nonprofit program. “It doesn’t look like much, these vast mudflats she says, scanning the wetland, “but it’s undeniably important for shorebirds. The best habitat is right here.” Less than 100 yards behind her, a massive heavy-lift crane(吊车) is preparing the site for the next test launch. When Musk broke ground here in 2014, the fact that he was sandwiched between the Lower Rio Grande National Wildlife Refuge and a group of local residents didn’t cause alarm. Now it does. His original plans were to test and launch the slimmer Falcon 9 rocket a dozen times a year to launch satellites into orbit. But his plans have expanded--not surprising for Musk, who also owns the electric car company, Tesla. Today, he’s using this limited area of land to build and test his Super Heavy-Starship model. “Anytime you have progress, there’s nothing that doesn’t come with some downside/5 Musk told the local official. In April, NASA awarded SpaceX a $2.9 billion contract to build a Starship to take astronauts to the moon, though the contract has since been put on hold due to environmental concerns. SpaceX activities are partly supervised by Cameron County in Texas. The top elected official there, County Judge Eddie Trevino Jr., says they both should pay closer attention to private space company. “We probably weren’t doing what we should have been, so I understand the public’s concern and we’re trying to do a better job going forward.” 32．What does the underlined word “inhabitants” in the second paragraph refer to? A．Locals. B．Astronauts. C．Birds. D．Fishes. 33．What is the purpose of quoting Stephanie Bilodeau in Paragraph 3? A．To evaluate the overall effects of SpaceX. B．To introduce the environmental protection efforts. C．To explain the significance of the wetland for shorebirds. D．To compare various habitats in Texas. 34．Which of the following words can best describe Elon Musk? A．Hopeful and flexible. B．Ambitious but careless. C．Innovative but unreliable. D．Aggressive and confident. 35．What might the local officials do in the future? A．Stop funding Elon Musk. B．Monitor SpaceX development. C．Cooperate with NASA． D．Prioritize public opinions. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Scary movies are something you either really love or avoid at all costs. Generally, people should be running away from things that bring fear. 36 It is a little confusing. According to psychologist Brownlowe, there are a few different reasons behind why people like scary movies. People like the feeling they get when they’re scared. Some people react differently to things that are scary. A study found that people who like scary movies tend to enjoy really strong feelings like fear. When you’re scared, your brain’s immediate response is to fight or flight. 37 For example, your heart may race and your muscles may tense. It can even cause you to scream or jump. “Believe it or not, for some people, this is a lot of fun,” Brownlowe says. It feels good to get through a scary movie. 38 According to Brownlowe, there’s a good reason why scary movies reduce nervousness. “The experience of your brain calming itself down after watching a scary movie is actually very dazzling,” Brownlowe says. “That’s because the dopamine (多巴胺) release causes an increased sense of well-being.” At the same time, it also feels good to go into an experience that seems scary or “risky” and then come out safe and sound. As Brownlowe says, “ 39 To some extent, it can make things that seemed challenging easier to deal with in the future.” For example, some people may find that after watching a Halloween Scare Fest, it’s not as scary to ask their boss for a raise, or to give a public speech. 40 Watching a scary movie is an ideal way to get closer to others. A study found that fear-arousing situations, like watching a scary movie, can increase the attraction between two people. Aside from increasing attraction, it can even bring you closer together. Some even think that scary movies touch a deeper part of our collective consciousness as humans. “It draws us closer when we have a shared experience of being terrified of the dark, or ghosts, or killers,” Brownlowe says. A．It changes our attitudes to risk. B．It’s a great way to make new friends. C．People feel more connected to others. D．It pushes people into choosing simple tasks. E．When this happens, your entire body can react. F．But scary movies have a way of drawing people in. G．Some anxious people may find scary movies comforting. 第三部分 语言运用 （共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Lino Marrero is a young inventor.

The image of him and his friends climbing to the top of a tree to get a bird’s nest hung in my mind for quite a while. I dreamed of peeking （窥视） into a bird’s nest that had eggs or small baby birds inside, like my father often did when he was a boy. But that was almost impossible. First, youngsters today are not allowed to climb trees. People think it is too dangerous. Second, we don’t have so many birds’ nests around anymore. The healthy eco-system of Dad’s youth is slowly disappearing. However, one day, my dream came true. It was a Saturday morning. My dad’s best friend, who I call Uncle Ben, invited us to visit his business. He sold used cars at his shop outside the city. There were a lot of trees around it. Uncle Ben led us through the parking lot, pointing out all kinds of different cars — different makes （品牌）, models, years and prices. As we walked across the lot, we suddenly found something unusual —a bird’s nest on top of the back wheel of a big truck! I was excited to be so close. I looked at the nest in amazement. It was real —a real bird’s nest with a few eggs sitting inside. The nest looked strong and warm. How smart the little bird was to make such a pretty nest. And how creative it was to build the nest on the wheel for shelter （庇护） in this cold Canadian weather! Uncle Ben took a close look，but he was surprised to find a baby bird was hanging down a branch under the nest, with one of its leg hurt badly. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Watching the little bird struggling to move, I felt a deep sense of responsibility. The mother bird circled several times over our head! 【高二年级10月月考试 英语卷 第1页（共4页）】 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 听力 1-5 BABBC 6-10 ACACB 11-15 CCAAC 16-20 BABBA 阅读 A篇 21． D 22．C 23．B B篇 24． B 25．D 26．A 27．B C篇 28． A 29．D 30．D 31．A D篇 32．C 33．C 34．D 35．B 七选五 36．F 37．E 38．G 39．A 40．C 完型 41． B 42．A 43．B 44．A 45．D 46．C 47．B 48．C 49．D 50．B 51．A 52．C 53．D 54．A 55．C 语法 56．has been brought 57．who//that 58．known 59．held 60．in 61．amazing 62．medals 63．an 64．sincerely 65．to focus 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
